Hend game hard to Tyke for Robins

But Henderson’s sixth and seventh goals of the season came with a huge bit of luck.[>

[>

His 61st-minute equaliser came after Barnsley ­keeper Luke Steele brought down Ched Evans.[>

[>

The spot-kick cancelled out Anderson De Silva’s ­53rd-minute opener for the Tykes.[>

[>

But Mark Robins’ side went ahead again on 74 minutes when Daniel Bogdanovic headed in Jon Macken’s cross.[>

[>

That should have been it but a stunningly poor tackle inside the area by Darren Moore on United’s Kyle Walker forced referee Mark ­Clattenburg to point to the spot for a second time.[>

[>

And Henderson, who shot down Steele’s throat for his first penalty, this time sent the Tykes keeper the wrong way to level the scores.[>

[>

The tie was full of bad blood with Barnsley’s Ryan Shotton very lucky not to be red carded for what looked like a stamp just a few minutes from the end.[>

[>

[>

The simmering tension between these two rivals threatened to boil over on 24 minutes when Macken clashed with Andrew ­Davies, sparking a melee in the middle of the pitch.[>

[>

Ref Clattenburg was forced to call both ­captains together for a ­lecture in the hope of ­cooling things down.[>

[>

But there is history ­between the two sides.[>

[>

Iain Hume, who fractured his skull in this fixture last season and missed eight months of his career, had to settle for a place on the bench.[>

[>

Chris Morgan, who was involved in the challenge which left the Tykes ­striker in intensive care, also missed out because of ­suspension to increase the woes of Blackwell.[>

[>

The defender had been told to stay away from the ground but if he was ­watching the game at home he will have noticed a huge banner of his face being held up by home fans with ‘coward’ written on it.[>

[>

The Blades seemed to be missing Morgan’s no-­nonsense qualities at the back as the Tykes tore into the visitors in a ­blistering start.[>

[>

Brazilian midfielder De Silva brought a touch of Samba magic to Oakwell with his stunning strike on 53 minutes.[>

[>

It was no more than ­Robins’ men deserved after dominating from the start without finding a way past Blades keeper Ian Bennett.[>

[>

Bennett, 38, rolled back the years to frustrate the Tykes with a string of fine saves before De Silva made the breakthrough.[>

[>

But Henderson’s goal ­either side of Bogdanovic’s strike ensured a share of the points.[>
